Greetings! My name is and I work as a Vendor Manager at ForeignExchange

medical industries. You can learn more about us through our website:

There is no specific job at this moment, but we are constantly seeking out

resources to help us with our projects! For anyone who is interested in being

placed on our lists of possible linguists, I just need some information.

Would you mind answering the following questions at your earliest convenience,

so that I may get a better idea of your translation experience? I would greatly

appreciate it!

• In what language pair(s) do you offer medical translation services?

English<>Maltese

• Please confirm your native language. Maltese

• How many years of medical translation experience do you have? 12

years

translation? 5000 words

• Do you work with a translation tool such as Trados or TagEditor? If

so, what version(s) do you use? Yes, Trados 2009

• Please provide a sample list of medical jobs you have translated in

the past 6 months. We are interested in specific examples -- types of projects

and approximate volumes that you have translated or edited. Please include

information such as what was translated, the medical specialty involved, word

count (estimate), etc.

I have updated a number of SPCs and PILs for the EMEA (number of words updated

roughly 2000 words) (English into Maltese). I have translated medical

questionnaires from American English to Australian English (roughly 1500 words).

I have also worked on branding analysis of medical products projects for the

Australian market.

NDA)*

translations.

I have a lot of experience proofreading SPC and PIls for the EMEA.

PLEASE, DO NOT REPLY TO THE LIST, but to the sender.

Moreover, Brigitte has chosen the " no mail " option in her list settings,

so she can't read your message !!!

Thank you for your understanding.

Don't expect much impact, Carmel - the rates they offered the last time

they approached me were at about 30% of what you quote.
